The Supreme Court at Ottawa on Wednes-
day morning delivered an opinion in the
Chicago Anarchists case, affirming the judg-
ment of the court below. The executions are
to take place November 18th, between nine
and four o'clock.
AT 9:3O o'clock Justice Magruder began the
announcement of the decision There was a
general feeling that something important was
:, bout to happen Justice Magruder appeared
a,sba and nervous as he entered the court
room room The cau,so of his excitement was made
". ..-II d lew moments later VIZ wbicb
Sheldon turned to him, and, in voice
would have been inaudlble, save Ior
the stiffness which pervaded the room,
said: Justice Magruder, have You any an
nouncements to make!" The Justice re
sponded: "In August Spies and others against
the people of the State of Illinois, No. SO,
advisement docket" The Chief Justice
nervOuSly turned the leaves OF the court
docket to the case indicated, when the Justice
read the decision of the court IN the Anarchist
case:
''In this case the court orders that the
sentence of the Superior Court of Cook
County of the defendants in the Indictment
August Spies, Michael Schwab Samuel
Fielden A. r. Parsons, -Adolph Fischer,
George Engel, and Louis Lingg-be carried
into effect by the Sheriff of Cook County on
the 18th day of November next, on Friday,
between the hours of ten o'clock forenoon
Judgment of the court was unanimous"
The trial of the anarchists for the murder
of policemen in the Haymarket at Chicago,
ended on August 20, 1885, when seven OF

Samuel Fielden, Albert r. Parsons,
Adolph Fischer, George Engel and

Sentence of death was passed on these Octo-
Der 9, and an eighth one, Oscar W. Neebe,

rnent in the penitentfary. A stay of execn-
ton was granted November 25 1885, pending
the dec; sion of the Supreme Court of the
State, which has just been handed down.
''The only remaining course for us to pufz

The Canning Industry.

"Mr. b. c. Moomaw, OF Botetourt, who
has taken the canning business lett by his
deceased brother, was in Stanton last
Thursday. In a conversation about the
advantages of canneries he said they were
revelation Of wealth to the farming
community that nothing else could bring.
He instanced the fact that poor land in
Botetourt yielded $50 an acre planted in
tomatoes, and good land sometimes as
much as s25O-the tomatoes being sold a.
20 cents a bushel.
Mr.. Moomaw is now building s25, 1000
cannery at Roanoke city, for canning
corn. He gave some account of the ad-
vantages of raising corn for canning. The
Gamer pays the farmer thirty cents a
bushel for the corn at the roasting ear
stage. At that stage it has hardly ex-
hausted the soil at all, the fodder is at
the right stage tor ensilage and the corr
being taken off, it can be followed at once
by another crop.
lie said no man could ride through
Botetourt without noticing the change
the canneres marlborough about. Former
poor owners Of poor land, were now thrifty
and well to do, with their debts all paid
off. The farms looked nicer and the
farmers homes were prettier and better.
To 90 into canning, Mr.. Moomaw said, re-
quired hardly any capital and the work
itself could be carried on in shed if the
Gamer could be satisfied with so poor an
outfit.
Since seeing Mr.. Moomaw, we learn that
a project is on foot to start cannery in
Waynesboro, and the projectors, who are
wealthy and responsible men, propose to
erect a cannery at some distance from the
creamery and carry the steam for boiling
from the creamery through an under
ground pipe to the cannery."
The above, which we copy from the
Stanton pindicator, shows what these
enterprises can do for a county, and our
readers can bear witness that we have
been urging this upon them for long
time. Nowhere in all Gods green earth Is
there more favorable spot for canning
establishment than right here at Wood
stock. Much of the land for miles around
is splendidly adapted to the raising OF
vegetables, aud as it would pay so inf
nitely better than corn and wheat it is
surprise to us that our farmers do not tak'
hand and urge the matter until they
succeed in having large canning estab
lshment at this place

a heavy load of lumber when ono of the

Of bank about thirty feet high. Fortu-
nately the animal hung on the edge and
was drawn back, saving it from being
killed or badly crippled. This road is a
very important ono and Is much used,
and should be made safe at once, and not
wait until All accident costs the county
more than it would take to repair it
besides the loss Of one or more precious

is now no excuso for not having it put IN
